TLDR: As Henry Cavill is leaving after season 3, these are the billboards Netflix has placed around the UK declaring, pathetically, that “Yes, he’s still Geralt in Season 3”. This is not a joke. This is real. The Witcher Twitter account is tweeting it.
Why are they even doing the show if they hate the source material so much? I mean, I know the answer is money but it just seems odd to even take on the project if you don’t like the story.
This is a very weird advertising strategy indeed. I can’t look at any of this objectively because I loved the books (games 1st) and Season 2 did everyone dirty. I can’t bring myself to watch Season 3. They ruined it for me.
I think it’s a wise advertising strategy. I had heard that Cavill was out, and I assumed that meant he wouldn’t be in season 3. That reduced the odds of me watching season 3, since the writing of season 2 was…well, you know. Now that I know he’s still in it, I will definitely watch the next season.
Also, this in no way throws anyone under the bus. Clickbait headline.
I mean, I already knew he was in series 3, but can’t be arsed as I know he’s leaving due to how they’ve treated him and the source material so I have no faith in the series being any cop.
I’ve only watched the first two episodes and they’re pretty rubbish.
Will be interesting to see if there’s a ratings drop this season — will people watch it for Cavill, or have they already given up?
I’ve given up, much love for Cavill but if he’s leaving due to the way they’ve treated him and ru source material then it’s not much incentive to watch.
